Convenience Is Gonna Kill Us Someday

Well, they TELL you not to bring Lithium-Ion batteries on board planes, right? You can't check them, but they're a danger even in a carry-on. Sure enough, here's one in a portable battery pack that exploded on a RyanAir flight from Barcelona to Ibiza. The charger exploded while the plane was still on the runway, so they're all lucky: they could evacuate without incident. But when practically all phones are powered by that kind of battery and everyone carries a portable battery these days to keep the phones juiced, this is pretty alarming. (Global News)
